Construction of Century Boulevard Extended to Begin in July

The Montgomery County Department of Transportation will begin construction in July to extend Century Boulevard to Father Hurley Boulevard, add a six-to eight-foot wide shared use bike path along the south side of the road and a sidewalk along the north side. Other project elements include installation of retaining walls, street lighting and landscaping; upgrades to the existing storm drain system; installation of stormwater treatment facilities; and construction of about 2,800 feet of water line, fire hydrants and other Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission structures.

Construction will occur Monday through Friday between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Occasional Saturday work may be necessary to make up for weather delays. No lane closures are anticipated on the existing portion of Century Boulevard.
